a week ago, Buena Vista announced that it would be releasing The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou on dvd this spring. Criterion fans were miffed at the news because the label had hinted at a very strong possibility it would be working on Wes Anderson's new film for a dvd release. we still had the Tenenbaums and Chasing Amy joint releases to pin our hopes on, though. and we were seriously hoping for some quick update on the matter. well, check this out, people -- The Life Aquatic is spine #300! the double-disc set is to be released on May 10th (although it will also come in a very lame single-disc edition for the mom and pop stores. go fuck yourselves Blockbuster. i hate seeing dumbed-down editions of spectacular Criterion releases. oh well. at least it rarely happens).
bump-bump:
